Wandering Whispers

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters mentioned in the story. They either belong to Square Enix or Disney. I only own Kailee. Don't be shy, rate and review!

P.S. I'm not going to write the whole Tangled script. I'm probably going to stop at where Rapunzel and Flynn arrive at the Kingdom.

"Garcon, your finest table please!" Flynn called out, after opening the pub door. Rapunzel gasped at the sight.

"Cool!" Sora grinned, gazing around the place. Turned out that the Snuggly Duckling, wasn't so snuggly at all. The whole place was decked out in grotesque, looking chandeliers, mounted heads on the wall of recent game, a bar with three switches on it, and a peculiar smell that hinted at blood and dirt. The people there didn't seem so friendly either. They all had that criminal instinct on them as they gazed on at the curious group.

Flynn started to push Rapunzel in while the rest followed. "You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose. Really let that seep in. What are you getting? Because to me, that's part man-smell, and the other part is really bad man-smell. I don't know why, but overall it just smells like the color brown. Your thoughts?"

"I think it smells like the color red actually?" Sora said, still mesmerized at the place.

"That's a lot of hair," a thug said as he handled Rapunzel's hair. Rapunzel quickly grabbed up her hair and started to run off into a corner, holding out her frying pan.

"She's growing it out. Is that blood in your moustache? Goldie, look at this. Look at all the blood in his mustache. That, sir, that's a lot of blood," Flynn pointed at the thug's mustache.

"King Mickey, can I ask you a question?" Riku asked pulling Mickey back.

"Go ahead Riku," Mickey said.

"Do we still have to follow these people?" Riku said, uncertainly.

"They might not seem so great, but they were the first people we came across and actually acted somewhat nice. We should at least follow them until the keyhole shows up," Mickey finished.

"How you holding up there Kailee?" Sora replied, seeing how nervous the thugs made Kailee.

"Oh, you know. I'm hanging in there," Kailee answered.

"Well, if you need anything, I'm always here to help," Sora said, locking eyes with Kailee.

"Thanks Sora. That really means a lot," Kailee commented.

"Anytime," Sora gave a small pat on Kailee's shoulder and turned his attention back to how Rapunzel and Flynn were handling things. Somehow, Flynn had tried, again, to put Rapunzel back in her tower, when a thug revealed him to be a wanted criminal. A whole group of thugs had grabbed him at the same time to try and claim him. Sora, Riku, Donald, Goofy, and Mickey had all tried to get him out of the mess, but they kept getting pushed or punched out. As one particular ruffian, with a hook, was about to punch Flynn, a branch came down on his head. Turned out, he was too hard headed to pass out but just enough to notice. Rapunzel was the one that had brought the branch down with her hair.

"Put him down!" she called out. "Whoa! Okay, I don't know where I am, and I need him to take me to see the lanterns because I've been dreaming about them my entire life! Find your humanity! Haven't any of you ever had a dream?"

The thug with the hook had approached her but stopped right in front of her face.

"I had a dream…once," he stared off into space. He threw an ax at a young accordion player in the corner. The accordion player started trembling and began playing.

"Not another song!" Donald exclaimed. A thug then grabbed him and threw him out the window, where he landed in a pile of mud. "Ah phooey!" Goofy and Mickey when out to check on him which left Sora, Riku and Kailee to accompany the thugs in song. After the ruffians had forced Flynn to sing and dance, they turned to Sora.

"What's your dream?" a tall thug pointed a finger at Sora.

"My dream?" Sora said, while the thug nodded. "Well, my dream is to make many people happy in the world!"

"And you?" the thug directed at Riku.

"To be able to gain back the trust of Destiny Islands and not have anymore regrets," Riku crossed him arms.

"And what about you, girl?" the thug said to Kailee.

"Well…um…" Kailee tried to regain herself by taking a deep breath. " My dream is to be able to live a normal life again. No more worries or sorrows. I just want my family back together again."

"Hooray!" the ruffians chanted. They soon finished with their lengthy song and brought back Donald, who was muttering nonsense and still wiping mud off himself. He didn't get out of the way of the door to only get thrown up and over to where Rapunzel was standing by a thug.

" I found the guards," said the thug.

Flynn hastily grabbed hold of Rapunzel and hid underneath a table. A vicious looking guard from the Kingdom came walking in.

"Where's Rider? Where is he? I know he's in here somewhere. Find him, turn the place upside down if you have to!" he fumed, ordering the guards. Mickey and the gang just stood stock still, inching their way over to Flynn and Rapunzel. The thug with the hook had caught up with them and motioned them to follow him. They crept around, until they got to the bar. The ruffians were putting themselves to good use by distracting the guards with others that obviously did not look like Flynn Rider.

The thug with the hook pulled a switch with a rubber ducky on it that revealed a secret, underground passage.

"Go, live your dream," he stated.

"I will," Flynn said.

The thug looked at him annoyed. "Your dream stinks. I was talking to her."

Flynn looked rather disappointed at how shabby the thug made his dream sound like. He began to crawl down into the passage.

"Are you sure they won't follow us through here?" Goofy sounded a bit worried.

"I don't know. But we'll try as hard as we can to make sure they don't," the thug patted Goofy on his back.

"Thanks for everything!" Sora replied, giving the thug a handshake. Everyone else gave his or her mutual thanks. Rapunzel even gave the thug a quick kiss on the cheek. Mickey, however, hung back.

" Have there been any sort of weird sightings?" he implied, looking to and fro.

The thug lifted one eyebrow. "What kind of weird sightings?"

" Just anything unusual. Something that would be hard to explain," Mickey said.

Hook hand just shook his head. "Only the usual. Why?"

" Just asking. But, thanks for everything," Mickey tried his best as to not look suspicious.

The thug immediately shut the trapdoor, leaving them all in darkness. Flynn had managed to find a torch and light it, but not before a gruesome thing popped in the darkness beyond. A figure with two heads, each one with razor-sharp fangs. Its body was a cross between an eagle and an ostrich. The worst part about it was that it had no eyes. Just one slit of a nose. On its chest was a red heart, oozing blood, with a black circle on the inside.

" Shadow crossers!"

So yeah, I decided to call the new enemies, Shadow Crossers. I know it sounds kind of cheap but it was all I could think of since I needed to post stuff up fast because I've gotten so many reviews! Since this is my first OFFICIAL story, it really means a lot. And, if you're wondering, Mickey said that last part. Ah, Mickey. Always the one to know things first. And should I keep going with the whole Tangled part? Or should I already switch worlds? And is it missing anything at all? I know, I'm trying to put in as much Sora and Kailee action as I can, but it's hard considering I have to stick to the script for Tangled. But anyways, don't forget to rate and review!
